CC168 - List Builder Studio with Andrew Summers and Steve Malone!

In the episode of Counter Charge Podcast we premier a new segment to the show!  The List Builder's Studio! 

Each episode/segment will have a general who plays a specific army.  We will talk about the guest general's list building philosophies and also look more closely at a recent list they are playing with a specific army.  This will provide interesting content about list building with some army specific reviews.  Also, it will be another venue to bring people in from different groups within the community.  We will be having a variety of types of generals, i.e. super competitive list builders along with more hobby orientated builders in order to provide a nice variety of content.

In this premier episode Rob catches up with Andrew Summers and Steve Malone at T.N.T. to have a deep discussion into their fundamentals of list design and army creation.  Along the way we touch on hobby, tactics and a complete breakdown of their current lists.  So pull up a chair with your favorite drink in hand and relax as this will surely become a favorite in the community. 

If you enjoy this show please spread the word and let us know if there are any players out there that you would love to see go into The List Builder's Studio!  Just e-mail Mark at countercharge15@aol.com
